As I write this review on September 1st, 2022, it's less than 24 hours since Police in Columbus, Ohio, murdered an unarmed black man in the middle of the night. 20 year old Donovan Lewis was in bed in the apartment he was sharing with two other men. Police came in the middle of the night to execute an arrest warrant on unspecified charges. Two men were removed from the apartment and it was indicated to Police that Lewis remained behind.
A canine officer, Ricky Anderson, a man with 30 years of experience, was admitted to the scene and informed whoever was behind the closed door of Donovan's bedroom that the dog was to be set loose if this person did not respond. When the door was opened, body camera footage indicated that he barely waited for the dog to move before he'd shot Donovan Lewis. According to the Officer, he saw Lewis had something in his hand. That something was a vape pen.
